You can just buy a SD300 cable and cut it, and use the two ends as "new" connectors for you old R610

I just did this, and it works perfect. The new Shimano version has a special connector but is is just a SD300 with an extra flange to prevent people to plug it in the wrong hole. The SD300 connector fits fine.

Thanks for the confirmation, which di2 shifter do you have?

I have two bikes both with ST-R9270 shifters

On bike nr. 1 I have spliced two old sets of SW-R610 with a SD300 port. So both climb and sprint button per side in one port.

On bike nr. 2 I have spliced an old set of SW-R610 and an old set of Cateye button with a SD300 port.

Both setup works perfect. As long as you use the lowest slot on the shifter, the signal i just a dumb on/off switch.
